About Dharma Southern Kitchen - Sanford
Welcome, y’all! It has been a journey leadin’ us here to the land of fine vittles, but we will give it to ya briefly. After many years of gettin’ into trouble as a punk kid on a motorcycle, Shaun dove mouth first into the world of fine dining. He took orders from the most austere of chefs and meticulously plated little artsy things in Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta, and most memorably, Bulgaria. A few short phases later (including working in the kitchen of a Hare Krishna temple), he said his temporary goodbyes to the kitchen and hit the open road in an 18 wheeler, livin’ the trucker life. Trucking can quite possibly be considered one of the most vast research & development trips throughout the culinary realms of the American South, especially with home base being North Georgia. Once enough funds were saved, Shaun took on the first food venture to officially call his own: The Vegan Hot Dog Cart. It is iconic in Orlando, y’know… for drunk people. From there, after lots of dreamin', Dharma Southern Kitchen came to life in the form of a charmingly rickety trailer. We worked as many farmers markets as we could handle before the Florida rain drove us crazy. We tried to permanently set up shop in front of a gas station for a few weeks, which was humbling. Fast forward. With the help of some sweet-as-pie partners, our first brick & mortar finally happened at Market on South.
